Parc Central del Poblenou

Not so famous, for me maybe the best museum in Barcelona.
The location is one of the most beautiful in the city, great walk, the permanent collection reminds you why Spain is such a fascinating place.

Great hike, you just need to Google which path to take - some are longer and a bit harder. Very rewarding by the time you make it up, there is a beautiful church, an attraction parc, plenty of places to eat, and beautiful views.

If you want to go to the beach like a local, just hop on a train and head to Ocata. Less people, cleaner, more beach for yourself...
